Rethinking Boundaries
نویسنده
چکیده
Amidst an unprecedented diversity of artistic modes brought forward by a massive influx of information and communication technology, the notion of interface, the connection between the person and the object, between the real and the virtual, assumes a role of paramount significance. Where once the object, the medium, and the roles of its creator and audience were securely defined, now nothing can be taken for granted. Just as the modes of communication are undergoing a fundamental transformation, so is the nature of the artist. This talk discusses a body of work undertaken by the author that is focused on the boundary between physical and electronic realms while simultaneously raising issues that, due in part to the fundamentally technological nature of the work, challenge conventional notions on the delineation of artistic practice.
